I am a jack of all trades. Excepting those trades I do not like. I am a web developer of simple, reliable solutions to problems.

WordPress Plugin Updates

I spent some time updating all of my WordPress plugins today.  A few months ago commenter Bramus noted that Simple LDAP Login allowed all WordPress users, regardless of rights, to access the administrative page.  I took an appalling amount of time to get around to updating this, but I went ahead and updated it in all of my plugins. (Those with admin pages)

I also fixed a couple of other minor issues that hardly merit mention. 

If you are using these plugins, I suggest you go ahead and update. 

Simple Post Template Version 1.0

Over the past few days I made some fairly significant changes to Simple Post Template.  If you are upgrading, be sure to read the upgrade instructions first!

In short, I’ve moved away from flat files and now store the template in the database. I execute PHP statements using eval. (A pretty nifty PHP function!) All settings are now stored and modified in the WordPress administration pages and you can select whether or not to prefill new posts with your template or click a button on the new post page.

New administration panel.

New administration panel.

New button (only appears when auto fill is deselected in admin panel)

I for one like the result.

That’s all for now.
